On Windows 9x/NT/2000, os.system() doesn't return the exit code because
COMMAND.COM doesn't.
To make os.system() on Windows work like os.system() on Unix (a Good Idea-TM),
implement os.system on Windows using code similar to what was suggested by Cary
Evans in http://www.python.org/pipermail/python-list/1999-May/009409.html .
(Note: It seems to me that this change is consistent with the recent change to
posixmodule.c to make os.popen() work the same on Windows as Unix.)
